Have you had experience creating and managing Docker images?

Yes, I have experience working with Docker images in Python projects. I have created Dockerfiles to package applications with necessary dependencies, ensuring a consistent runtime environment across different machines.

The main steps I used:

• Choosing a base image, such as python:3.9-slim.
• Copying source code and dependency files (e.g., requirements.txt).
• Installing dependencies via pip install.
• Defining the command to run the application.

A simple example of a Dockerfile for a Python application:

FROM python:3.9-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD ["python", "app.py"]

I also managed images using commands like docker build, docker run, docker push for registry uploads and automated image builds in CI/CD pipelines.
